Step 1.
Install the axles in the landing gear as shown and
secure in place using an adjustable wrench.
Note:
A plywood mounting plate is glued in place inside the
wheelpants for mounting the wheel pant to the landing gear.
Step 2.
Mark the position on the wheel pant where the axle will
pass through on the plywood side. It’s helpful to hold the wheel
in place over the wheel pant to judge the correct position. Mark
the position on both wheelpants with a felt-tipped pen, being
sure to mark the same side that the plywood plate is installed.
